“Pilots and technicians of Hmeymim airbase have sent their message to terrorists by priority airmail”, said a caption accompanying the post.

Russian Federation today said the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation failed to prevent the terrorist attacks by Islamic State and other militant groups in France and other European Union countries.

Russia’s Defense Minister says that the military has destroyed a number of oil facilities and tankers controlled by the Islamic State group, cutting its income. So everyone knew what the two presidents were discussing: How the hell can we prevent the Islamic State from spreading terror and slaughter throughout America, Russia, Europe and everywhere?

“We face a lot of work and I hope that the next phases will be conducted at the same high level, as professionally, and will produce the result we expect”.

Earlier this week Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged to hunt down and “punish” those behind a bomb attack that brought down a passenger jet over Sinai last month, killing all 224 people, mostly Russian holidaymakers, on board.

Russia’s air campaign in Syria began on 30 September. It fired its first cruise missiles in the conflict on 17 November.

The Russian ambassador to Ankara was summoned to the Turkish foreign ministry to hear the protest.

But he added that “the majority of Russian air strikes are still against moderate Syrian opposition forces, which is clearly concerning, and those strikes are in support of the Syrian regime” of President Bashar al-Assad.
